Two brand-spanking new Dancing on Ice 2019 contestants have been confirmed following the news that Gemma Collins and Richard Blackwood will be joining the show next year. Both Gemma and Richard were announced as contestants on the ITV telly show by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield yesterday (October 2nd), and they're set to be joined by former Westlife star Brian McFadden and seasoned ballroom dancer James Jordan.
James - husband of Strictly Come Dancing star Ola Jordan - was first announced today, though some fans are already claiming he could be at an unfair disadvantage due to his experience. One Twitter user said: "Surely being a choreographer @The_JamesJordan will have a slight advantage of picking up routines quicker and know how to extend and perform to a high standard."
Many Dancing on Ice fans are loving the signing, though; with one tweeting: "Anyone moaning about James Jordan having an unfair advantage coz he’s already a dancer can jog on. For the same reason #SCD would be crap if everyone was really rubbish from the beginning, the same applies to #DOI."
